[grandy]

It's a little early, but where would you take the Lions in this bet?

Meh...it's early, so 9+ and refill my glass with Honolulu blue cool aide, please.

To me....a lot depends on how fast Austin and Lombardi get their shit installed. I'll be France right now.......push.

My predictions after August will be different, I'm sure.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'll go with my usual 7-9 always hoping I'm surprised at the end..but I don't care how many they win if the don't win a playoff game. 4 or 14, doesn't matter.

Are we predicting what they will actually do or what they will deserve without injuries, bad calls, weather, bad luck, etc...etc....etc????

Only if you're the H part of LVH.

Even after all this time, I feel obligated to stick with the 5-11 prediction I made moments after the Caldwell hiring.

 

[LKP]

Calvin, Stafford, Suh play 16 with normal other injuries=11-12 wins+
Calvin, Stafford, Suh play 16 with excessive injuries to others=8-10 wins
Calvin,Stafford, Suh with one missing 3 games with normal other injuries=8-10 wins
Calvin,Stafford Suh wiht one missing 3 games and excessive other injuries=7-8 wins
Calvin,Stafford, Suh miss 4 or more with normal injuries =6-8 wins
Calvin, Stafford Suh miss 4 with excessive others injuries=4-6 wins

 

[LKP]

Scenario 3 Tate, Ebron and run game pick up the slack for 10 wins if Calvin misses 3.

 

[dubbsco]

They'll go 8-8. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 7-9. I'll be surprised if they win 10.

 

[LKP]

They'll go 8-8. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 7-9. I'll be surprised if they win 10.

Really suprised. Wow. Yey of little faith and eye for talent. 10+ should be the highest probable outcome.

 

[dubbsco]

That's what decades of ineptitude will do to you. The only thing this franchise can do is show me. Enough of the talk, the hype, the talent, etc... Show me. Until then, I'll continue to stay skeptical.

The previous decades have nothing to do with the talent level and coaching.

8-8 predictions because the Lions made you sad in the past is dumb.

 

[dubbsco]

Was it dumb to predict a 7-9 record last season when they are oozing with all of this so-called talent?

It is? We aren't talking about a blip on the radar. It's not like the Patriots who may have one down season, but you know will bounce back. This team is a joke, and again, until they prove it on the field, there's nothing to really debate.

this coming from the same guy that called the 2013 roster "Super Bowl Caliber", said they had a better roster than the Seahawks & 49ers and said the Lions were better than the Seahawks last year because they beat them in 2012.

Giving them 8 wins right now. Schedule scares me....still think they're capable of 10 wins though...just playing it cool.

Going into the season it was dumb to predict 7-9. Just a coincidence it happened due to injuries and kicking game. That was an 11-12 win team on the field in 2013

Pretty much how I feel. I'm not doom and gloom just yet. Cautiously optimistic is probably my stance right now.

I'm on the same train. 8-8

tough schedule
not a very good HC
2 brand spankin new first time coordinators - not even sure if they know how to call a game
Stafford running a new offense
Defense has the same mediocre personnel as last year but the good news is they cant be any worse
Offense has no excuses
9 wins.

I think we have the talent to win 7 games....then we will get lucky in 2 more games.
